Rahul was teasing Shriya and he thought Abhi will ask him not to tease her, but he never expected that his father and grandpa were listening to his blabbering.

When he heard his grandpa he was so tensed that he didnot know what to say and he said something he shouldn't have . He wanted to say 'Nothing will happen grandpa, even if it did I will take responsibility', when his grandpa asked him about Gouthami. He wanted to sound like a real man and he wanted to gain their confidence in him but his mouth cheated and he words came out wrong.

When he heard his own words he felt so ashamed and even before he could react his father shouted at him and when he knew his father was also there he became so frightened that he wanted to dig a hole into the earth and wanted to hide there forever.

His father was already so upset with him for being so lazy and always being a brother's chemcha now his father will outright kill him.

Shriya stood there silently not knowing what to say or what to do. She was so nervous because she understood that Abhi's father and grandpa know about her. She felt so embarra.s.sed thinking 'What might they think about me ? What else, a gold digger afterall a normal girl will never accept to live under the same roof with a guy, no actually they were two'.

A thousands of random thoughts were going through her brain that she lost her sense of thinking and she sat in the chair. She was afraid that their parents and grandpa will scold Abhi for loving such a cheap and immoral girl.

Her fear increased when she heard his grandpa's words "Who are you asking this, he is the one who is living with his girl under the same roof for a while now ?".

She was so frightened and she wanted to run somewhere when she heard Elder Malhotra asking Abhi that he want to talk to her.

She was so frightened but Rahul who stood beside her signed her to relax and he whispered in her ears "He is a good person and a cool man, don't worry".

After speaking to him she felt a bit relaxed but when she heard Mr. Malhotra, she saw a change in Rahul's face and she was again nervous.

But Abhi asked her to call his father "Uncle," and she knew he was trying to ease her up.

But it didn't seem like his father was not as tough as Rahul described.

After speaking to them she felt like something big was taken up from her shoulders. She ran in as soon as she heard Abhi asking her to go eat something and rest up.

When she came out from Kitchen, she saw Rahul sitting on the chair keeping his both hands on the table and holding his head in his hands.

She sat beside him and asked him "Are you alright?"

Rahul shook his head and said while still facing down "I am screwed, Dad will kill me for sure".

Shriya wanted to console and said "No, don't worry, that won't happen. Abhi will manage over there".

Rahul said "I hope so too".

After that both Shriya and Rahul had their breakfast and they went to their respective works.

Inside Mr. Malhotra's study

Both father and son duo were flabbergasted with Abhi's words. Mr. Malhotra was the one who came to his senses first and asked his son "Didn't you say you couldn't find her then ?"

Abhi said "Yes, I couldn't find her because she was taken by her relatives as the accident happened in the same year."

Elder Malhotra said "I wish you all happiness then."

After talking about other matters they all went to their respective rooms. They discussed about Rahul and Gouthami and they were not so happy with their relationship.

They didn't like Gouthami for some reason. They were against Gouthami with Abhi because she is an ambitious girl and wants to control others. But for Rahul she is not a bad choice because he doesn't have a goal on his own, so if she manages to tame him he will become a better person. But they doesn't have any idea whether she will be happy with Rahul or not.

They are more worried about Mrs. Malhotra she wanted to set up Gouthami with Abhi and she has been dreaming about their marriage for a while now.

If she knew that her elder son was in love with an orphan, a n.o.body, then she will go crazy and definitely do something to part them. And if she knew that Rahul and Gouthami have been lying about their relationship, she will not accept their relationship either because she feels she was betrayed.

They decided to take things slow, but they are okay now because as of now the situation is calm. Both elder Malhotra and Mr. Malhotra were not supporting their grandsons, at the same time they were also not against them, they will this of this when it was right time and decided to let the things go as usual.

They were just happy because his grandson was able to find the girl they were searching for a while now.
